Incredible fall from grace

The celebrity lawyer who represented Stormy Daniels, the porn actress who sued US President Donald Trump, was found guilty of extortion Friday in a Manhattan federal court. The conviction marks an incredible fall from grace for California lawyer Michael Avenatti, who at one point presented himself as a major adversary to Trump. Avenatti was found guilty by a jury of charges related to his attempt to extort millions of dollars from the sports apparel giant Nike. He also faces a slew of cases including for embezzlement, tax and banking fraud and identity theft. If found guilty of all the charges, Avenatti could theoretically be sentenced to several hundred years behind bars.
